Cowboys Park will soon begin its transformation into a multi-functional event and festival space in downtown Calgary. These improvements will be the park’s first since 1999 and include utilities (stormwater, sanitary and potable water), electrical infrastructure, and two hardened surfaces.
Utility upgrades will allow organizers to more quickly set up, tear down and clean after events. The hardened space will accommodate Calgarians with mobility considerations and host various events, including farmer’s and holiday markets, hard surface sport and other recreational events, food festivals and more.
“With the Olympic Plaza Transformation underway, this work will make Cowboys Park a versatile space for Calgarians to use and enjoy, and will replenish our portfolio of accessible, flexible event spaces downtown,” says Kyle Ripley, director of parks and open spaces.
Planning for additional park improvements as part of phase two is underway, which will see further upgrades later this year and beyond. An online engagement opportunity for public feedback in March will allow the community to inform the future programs and activations they’d like to see in Cowboys Park. Further details will be announced as they are confirmed.
